at noon, X = an inkling, except on Sundays when X will equal the firelit parlor, the distance between bodies. In the bath, if the surface tension breaks at exactly 88 degrees, then X = fragment, but only if the hands tremble. Y is roughly equal now to the distance between the wrist and collarbone, divided by the circumference of both shoulderblades. Assume, a splintered pitcher of milk, a gesture. If your ribs ache, then subtract the body's weight in water, or better still, deduct the age at which you burned your first epiphany. In bed, X always equals mouth. At midnight on Mondays, in rainblack ribbons, Y = vesicle. X + Y occassionally equals a daughter, ours, named after errant brushfires and hurricanes. Y will nearly always equal hands then, or a compass rose.  All Rights Reserved.babygirLPress |

Must be "Old home week" 'round here... Read this this morning before jetting off to the J.O.B.....jess gettin' back to it Happy, I was, to read this....very! It has everything I would want from a poem creative and thoughtful (please tell me this didnt just gush out all over the page, born fully formed and Aphrodite-perfect) See? I am sooo envious of that ability sheesh.... lol I'll look around from time to time (here and there) for traces of you (and select others) and just maybe, one day, write something myself Be good, you |

wranxie...lol Aphrodite-perfect? LOL...ok...so i won't admit it..but LORD do I hate to edit....hate it, hate it, hate it...and wrting is the one thing I can actually be lazy about...so it often goes...as is...far...from perfect though, my friend. I was just messing around with this one....I'm rarely on these blue pages these days...but I always look for you too, love. I'm glad you're well~ ~much love baby blue~ [This message has been edited by bel1e (08-02-2007 08:08 AM).] |

Okay, I got a bit nervous (I am math phobic), but (proudly) I overcame my fear and plowed on. And know what? I am so glad that I did. This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing. Alison |
